Name

Description

Open-source analytics data store designed for sub-second OLAP queries on high dimensionality and high cardinality data

MySQL application compatible open source RDBMS, enhanced with high availability, security, interoperability and performance capabilities. MariaDB ColumnStore provides a column-oriented storage engine and MariaDB Xpand supports distributed SQL.

Microsoft Access combines a backend RDBMS (JET / ACE Engine) with a GUI frontend for data manipulation and queries.

The Access frontend is often used for accessing other datasources (DBMS, Excel, etc.)

An embeddable, non-blocking, type-safe key-value store for single or multiple disks and in-memory storage

Fast distributed SQL query engine for big data analytics. Forked from Presto and originally named PrestoSQL
